Dog Owners Warned Against Rabies Threat Dog-owners in the Amherst area were reminded once again to have their dogs vaccinated against rabies, following an announcement Monday by Dr. Marion Fisher that a skunk shot by Amherst policemen last Saturday had been found to be rabid. Dr. Fisher referred to the law which went into effect January 28, requiring that all dogs be vaccinated against rabies. He said there is a 30-day grace period, but that dog owners should not delay, especially since the disease is apparently more prevalent in Lorain county than any other county in the state. The skunk shot Saturday was the third rabid one reported this year in the county. Freshmen Elect Class Officers Freshman class officers at Steele High School were elected this week, with the following results: ' Ken 1 DeSantis, president; Karen Richards, vice president; Arlene Stilgenbauer, secretary; Jim Wantuck, treasurer. Representatives to student council are Katherine Reynolds and Earl Wearsch. Officers of the three upper - classes were named in the fall, but freshmen were given the first semester to become better acquainted before holding elections. School Acts to Protect Innocent In Investigations "School authorities will, of course, cooperate with police officials by every means consistent with protecting the rights of the pupils and1 not detrimental to school procedures," Superintendent W. A. Smith stated this week. "We are naturally concerned that any petty, misdemeanors, as well asany more serious offenses, be stopped," he continued, "but we' feel we have an obligation to protect the rights and reputations of the vast majority of our children who' are not in any way connected with the so-called crime wave now being investigated toy the police department." Smith's statements came in answer to local police accusations that their investigations were being hampered toy school officials. The police had been interviewing students at Central school, later moving their interviews to the police department. Late last week Central School Principal William Jenkins ordered that no more students be released to the police during school hours unless the parents, were notified. He pointed out that even an. adult has the right to legal counsel and he thought children should at least have their parents notified. Smith said the school had been advised by its legal counsel that it was within its rights to refuse release of children. The only times a school is required to release children for such an investigation is on a direct order from juvenile court officials or on a subpoena, Smith said he had been advised. Smith also pointed out that the number of children involved hardly constituted a crime wave.Out of a total school enrollment of over 2300, only about 30 children have been involved and of those only about six involved in anything of a serious jnature. Two of the six more seriously involved joined the local public school system in January of this year. A meeting of school, police and .juvenile court officials was scheduled for later this week to work out plans for any further investigations. : Neiv Office - Opens Here Account collections and credit clearing house service are available to local business and professional men on a local basis with the establishment here of a branch office of the H. D. Sloan organization. The firm has been established in Lorain since 1923, now having two offices there. The Amherst branch is located on Park avenue next to Mischka's Restaurant. Fred Leimbach of North Ridge road is manager of the local office. A native of Amherst and member of local church and fraternal organizations, he has been with the Sloan organization for three years. Mrs. Norma Braun, also an Amherst native, is also employed in the local office as clerk and receptionist.
